I finally got around to watching 'Sleepaway Camp' this last weekend! Holy crap, this movie is so awesome, and scary as hell, and also very funny. What is really strange is I had known the secret ending for years, but it still scared the crap out of me! The surprising thing about the movie - Jonathan Tiersten (Ricky)! He was beyond awesome! Very much like someone I would have hung out with at that age (14-18). I love how he's this basically good kid, but has a wicked foul mouth and a wicked sense of humour! And I absolutely loved the storyline of Mel thinking Ricky is the murderer! Their scenes are priceless!

I bought this film the other day...all I can say is...brilliant! It's one of my favourite horror films ever, and, it's the only horror film that actually scared me! (as in, creeped me out)...97/100 from me..."Poor Paul", I never knew that they could kill people that young back then!

My friends and I find ourselves quoting this movie constantly. Specifically simple lines like "TURN THE WHEEL! TURN THE WHEEL!" and "JOHN!" Someone had already told me how it ends before I saw it... but yet the ending still shocked me. To be honest, it scared the s**t out of me, every window I looked out that night I saw Angela's face staring at me.

As I understand it, for the ending, they were first going to put a prosthetic genitalia on the actress who plays Angela in the film. Well, for whatever reason that didn't work, so they found a male college student, who would put on an Angela mask, and do the scene in the nude. But he couldn't do the scene sober, so they had to get him drunk first to do the scene. Thus, what you see, whether it is noticable or not, is an actor that is drunk as a skunk.
